The Power of Eight: 8x8 Marine Personnel Carrier

[JPaizer2]

its only got a 50 cal....



[ArchOfficial]

This thing is ugly as fuck compared to the LAV but supposedly better.

[qelleri]

The best wheeled fighting vehicle out today! AMV can be equipped with 50. HMG, 25-30mm autocannons, automatic grenade launchers, NEMO and AMOS mortars, 105mm gun system and BMP-3 turret. I also has one of the worlds best protection systems and mobility.

[snaileri]

Keep on killing! What ever it takes to boost the economy ;)

[ckkabramz]

is there any plans to arm the MPC with a 25mm or 30mm turret or will it have the concept of the stryker with the remote controlled 50 cal HMG?

[metziih]

@ckkabramz

Patria AMV can be fitted with both autocannons.

Personally I have seen it with the M2 50.cal HMG. (While serving in Finnish Defence Forces).

Ofcourse, it can also be fitted with the "advanced mortar system" for shits and giggles, but I'm not sure if it weights too much then to be amphibious.

[williamss666]

and what about EFV?

[sansucal]

still no hovercraft carrier. This is sad :(

[NatedogJr]

IDEA!!! Put a M2 Browning Heavy Machine Gun, Automatic Grenade Launcher, or auto cannon and equip it with a M151 Protector Remote Weapons Station!!!

[hopeatikari]

@NatedogJr Well the finnish XA-360 (finnish vehicle code for Patria AMV) are equipped with a Protector M151 mounted .50 M2 HMG or H&K GMG. So apparently it is good enough idea for FDF to use it.

[Papi1960R]

Patria makes the MOST Feared weapon in Afghanistan the Rosomak(Wolverine) APCs of the Polish Army. Taiban I've interogated call it "Green Death". Good to the USMC considering new equipment. Hope they can procure these before the looming budget cuts. Unfortunately Marine performance the last 10yrs has been, being generous, quite poor. So they are bearing the brunt of the land forces budget cuts. I'm Army & hope for a strong, viable USMC not the shell Obama/Congress want by 2015.

[Tyco200]

@Papi1960R Exactly. Fuck Obama, fuck the democrats. They've destroyed this nation, have canned our air force of F-22s with the much inferior, and, honestly, defenceless F-35, yet believe those on welfare/illegals need benefits... Sorry, I'd like tax cuts so I can grow up knowing there is are businesses, instead of a communist state sucking off what little money feeds it until the damn bank runs out???

[th3sp0rk]

@Tyco200 god damn shut the fuck up, if you want to talk politics not on a fucking youtube video about an APC.

[warzone520]

Epic ride

[dabom12898]

digg'n the goove her fellas, OOH RAH! \m/(^_^)\m/

[airsofter615]

hows the blast reflection on it, it doesnt seem to have a v shaped haul

[DCTriv]

@airsofter615 Don't be fooled by the outside appearance, it is fitted with a v shaped hull, it's just less noticeable as they've fitted the axles and panelling around it.

[hopeatikari]

@airsofter615 The patria AMV hull is designed to protect passangers from a 10 kg TNT anti-tank mine.

[acomdata12able]

Wheels look pretty exposed.

[RiCe4AllTaChiLds]

it looks pretty badass in the water with the Bow attachment

[abbyratsolee]

Go Lockheed!

Go Marines!

Go America!

[TheHabati]

@abbyratsolee

NO!

GO patria, they're the ones who made it. : /

[USMCfuturedevildog]

that thing looks sick in the water

[ilov3fudg3]

what MOS would this fall under?

[mtrtrm]

@ilov3fudg3 - I think it's replacing the LAV so it will most likely be in the 03XX series

[dabom12898]

@ilov3fudg3 1834 or 1833 my friend...maybe a new one? cuz those two are for AAV and EFV. hope it helped

[kavo360]

I like the low profile of this apc in the water..

[ReconTeam111]

Now that's more like it! Beats the hell out of the other MPC demonstrator. Needs a turret with a 30mm autocannon however, at least on the variant that will replace the LAV.

[crosmas]

Friggin' love HD Marine Corp vids!!!! Semper Fi!!!!!!

[Vietboy1st]

can it stop rpg from impact on the inside ?

[35HJC10]

Great. Looks like it beats the Army M113 for ground speed and amphibian capability.

[RedCastle335]

I like how it can go vroom vroom, and then in the blink of an eye, go splashy splashy! :)

[RSFewOfTheMany]

Thought it was just called an Amphibious

[iliJesusili]

Orgasim.....



[GODSofBATTLE]

It looks like the stryker, and if it is not amphibious like the LAV or AAV, then I don't see the point of it. Especially if it's only armed with a CROWS

[booyah41]

those are some nice as hell carriers an there useful

[mesiasz69]

it is KTO rosomak man!

[TheDomx]

that looks like a Polish KTO Rosomak



[EternalMotionPicture]

Oorah!

[911marines1]

nice mirrors & turn signals... cause those are useful in combat

[ireallydontcare76]

That thing looks already about 100x better than AAVs. As a grunt, I really hated the fuckin "theres always room for one more" cause there was always one motherfucker who puked into his god dawm helmet, causing a chain reaction of that sort of shit. Ive shared an AAV with 31 total marines on board, with packs, weapons, and we had an 81mm mortar crew and their equipment on board with us, it was a ship to shore movement, took about 20 min to get on dry ground.

good times hahaha

[anteracmacash]

this is like the better version of the Patria AMV model

[semperfisemperceler]

I hope war technology never advances too high to the point that it interferes with Marine Corps traditions, but good stuff though

[anthonywkubik]

@semperfisemperceler uhhhh.... you mean the tradition of bullet catching!
